Chinaplas 2025, Shenzhen: Hall 5, booth 5Q25
Asia's largest rubber and plastics exhibition ran 15–18 April 2025 in Shenzhen. Kerke was in Hall 5 at booth 5Q25 with the KTE twin screw platform, the KTE-T triple screw and the two-stage KTE/SE recycling lines.
Quick answer
Kerke exhibited at Chinaplas 2025 from 15 to 18 April 2025 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center, Hall 5, booth 5Q25. As the home show, it is the one exhibition where the full range is on the table: eleven machine families on one screw platform, from the KTE-16 lab unit to the KTE-135D production twin screw, plus the KTE-T triple screw for dispersion-limited products.
What was on the stand
Four themes anchored the booth:
- One platform, eleven families. Lab, pilot and production twin screws share the KTE geometry, so a formulation proven on a lab line scales without re-inventing the screw profile.
- Two-stage KTE/SE lines. Twin screw compounding followed by a single screw metering stage — the standard answer for heat-sensitive products and PET work.
- Triple screw KTE-T. Three-screw geometry for dispersion-limited masterbatch where a twin screw needs extra split-and-fold events.
- Seven pelletizing methods. Strand, water-ring, underwater, die-face and more — pellet shape is a product specification, not an afterthought.
Gravimetric feeding and the auxiliary equipment around the line completed the scope, which is how we quote turnkey: one supplier from silo to silo bag.
Why this market
Chinaplas draws the whole regional conversion industry, and 2025's traffic at the booth skewed toward compounders under margin pressure — buyers who ask what the line costs to run per kilo, not what it costs to buy. That conversation is exactly where in-house machining shows: screw elements, shafts, barrels and liners produced in our Nanjing works mean a wear package can be specified by material and quoted as a line item, and replacement parts ship in 24–48 hours instead of being re-ordered from a third party.
It is also the show where a factory visit is easiest to arrange: Shenzhen to Nanjing is a short trip, and every machine in the catalogue can be seen on a test bench with material running.
The questions we answered
| Question | Answer on the stand |
|---|---|
| Which torque class do I need for high filler loading? | Decided by the trial — filler grade and loading set the specific mechanical energy; the screw profile follows. |
| Twin screw or two-stage for masterbatch? | Twin screw to 88% loading on stable recipes; two-stage when degradation or pellet quality governs. |
| Can the lab result be trusted at production scale? | Same platform geometry, scaled by L/D and screw speed — that is why the KTE-16 to KTE-135 share one family. |
| Delivery time on a configured line? | 30–45 days standard, test-run with material before shipment. |
Visit the works instead
Every machine Kerke sells is built and run in one place: screw elements, shafts and barrels are machined in our Nanjing works, gearboxes are assembled and run in for 24 hours, and every line is tested with material before it ships. If the show was busy, the better meeting is at the factory — send 25–50 kg of your material and we run it on a lab extruder in 3–7 days: pellets, running video, temperatures and output per hour.
